Does this unit require ozone plates to be installed?

Hi Robert, Glad to help :). All ozone generators require an ozone plate or cartridge in order to work. Ozone (activated oxygen, O3) is created when voltage is applied to the ozone plate/cartridge to create a corona discharge. This corona discharge reacts with the oxygen present in the ozone generator chamber to create ozone. I hope this helps and please let us know if we can help with anything else :).

No. This is the outside unit for the air conditioning system. The heat doesn't need this. But you might need something else for it.

Yes it does, but I don't use it because of my pets. It puts the ozone on very high setting.

Mine did not. I had to go online for information about the unit. Good luck.

Not sure how you could tell it didn't generate ozone but yes the light is just for power on.

We have been using an Alpine Living Air Purifier Ozone Generator which appears to be identical to this unit running for over 15 years in our living room. I have never had to replace the plates, just wash them maybe once or twice a year. Dust can become an issue so I take it apart and clean it once a year also. Still runs good except the fan has become a bit sticky and hard to start so I could probably replace that for about $10! A great machine for the price! The Alpine was over $400 as a multi-level deal rip-off!

Winix website claims it does not. http://www.winixinc.com/why-is-ozone-such-a-big-deal--pages-130.phpClick on last word HERE, you will be at California State website CA.gov. CA required all air cleaners sold in CA to be tested & certified for ozone emissions. Winix received certification 03-11-2011.

From what I researched, it only generates ozone through the ionizer feature. I don't turn that part on.

You need to clean or replace filters on a regular basis. The plates need to be cleaned as well depending on how dirty the environment is.

Not really. The only requirement is to install grills and knobs. Very good product

I use the Salton in my hot tub and it doesn't have an Ozone generator. I don't think you need anything special to use this. You only need a place to plug it into.

I don't remember removing any from my unit before installing it, I would not. It's probably there to prevent residue from collecting on the sensing temperature probe.

I have not experienced any smell produced by my unit. It has so far performed flawlessly. In my research prior to order/installing, I did read where UV can break down some plastics, so I was careful to inspect the area inside the duct and around the coil to make sure there weren't any plastic parts that might be exposed.

You can use the O3, once you set it up just leave the kitchen and wait 10 more minutes after it ends its cycle. You can come back once the ozone is misspended.
